[MonsterBOX]

werent the old school celicas alot more powerful than they r now including the current gt4

[Zasper]

No, they old celica's werent more powerful but they were when they were labeled as Supra/celica. Before they split them to make the supra and the celica. but they older celica's only had like 95 horses

[Zasper]

does anybody else have this emblem, and where did you get it, i checked ebay, and that was a no go, so any suggestions will be highly appriciated.

[celi_gt_racer]

were they only made in blue?... is it possible to get a hold of a red one?... i want one reaaallll badddd

[ScoobyDooCruiser]

Just check ebay every few weeks. Also, check by junk yards. I picked mine up on ebay. Good luck, check my profile for pics of them on the front grill.

[mr_dude]

Can't get 'em from Toyota?

Edit: Will all ebay ones be stolen?

I got quoted for $18 retail for one at Toyota Parts Department. Plus i get a little discount. It's the same price for the cursive "celica" emblem. For the celica emblems is costing me $27 for two and they said it's the same price for the dragons. it's from a 71 celica.

found this cool dragon emblem some guy did on his computer:

haha found some "history" thing:




Brief History of Celica and 1982 Production

Toyota named the car "Celica," which derived from medieval Spaniards that used Latin and it's literal translation is a plural form of "celestial" as in "celestial things".  The original dragon logo depicts a celestial blue dragon; symbol of the East and representative of the Emperor and celestial power.  The dragon logo emblem depicted above adorned the first of the first generation Celicas.

158,800 total Celicas were produced for production year 1982 for the Japan and international markets.  There were 115,690 Toyota Celicas sold in the USA for production year 1982.  This includes both the ST and GT grades combined.

I dotn think it is the same piece, I've only seen the dragon emblems for $27 each...I got my pair on ebay for $50 w00t! saved $4 bucks haha

[dustin15brown]

Good job Amy! Every penny counts

[hisashi94gtst204]

if you got the dragon emblem for $27 each you got ripped off. The ones at toyota are the right ones. They have a picture of the part in there computer system. It's only black and white in the pic but its the part. I'd rather spend $27 for two emblems in stead of one.

[Batman722]

the part #s is what everyone wants here...since no one here can pick up a phone and just call a dealership for the part # and their price, I will make some calls either Saturday or Monday morn to try to find out.

While we're on the subject I need 96 97 limited edition dragon badge.  If you want my opinion it looks more like a viking ship to me.

I feel silly but , for years my brother in law had an 80's celica and I never really focused on the emblem ,just glanced at and thought it was swan.

[Zasper]

[playr158]

I was obviously kidding playr, i dont normally bash people on here for ****s and giggles like a few cats that will remain unknown. If i seriously got that pissed off by someone calling it a swan, i think i might need some stress theropy. Go work on your car.

[easternpiro1]

i saw this HOT toyota emblem while i was in st. lucia. it was a light up emblem and was yellow. i saw one on this ford pickup but havent seen any since...im going to check my boy's shop to see if there are any hanging around...has anyone seen them before?

[Smlogg]

Saw this on ebay, if you really wanna go retro~ Although I thought it would probably really only be good for playr XD



Also saw some interesting re-designs of the toyota symbol in cf... ebay is fun

I love that emblem. My buddy has a vinal cutter and I'm thinkin of putting it on the back window or somewhere. I think the supra/celica one should be on some of those suprica conversions out there. A nice finishing touch.
